Hey guys, I haven't been on the site for a while and just wanted to let you all know how much fun I had at the Classic. It was my first tournament, so I still have a lot to learn! Aside from the windy conditions for fishing, I was blown away by the quantity and QUALITY of the items in the raffles. There was a ton of really great stuff up there. Unfortunately, we can't all win custom rods like JerseyJoe!  CGKF did have a pretty good showing though in the prize department. It was really great to finally meet a bunch of you that I hadn't had a chance to meet before. Looking forward to the next tournament and seeing y'all out on the water before then! |

Glad you had a good time. It just gets better as you get to meet folks. There are a bunch of good guys in kayak fishing.
Glad you got to make the trip!

Glad you had a good time at the JKF Kayak Classic and sorry that I did not spend much time with you all.....with 500 people in the room, it was hard to find anyone...and you know how I love to mingle and chat....LOL!! Final tally that I saw was that $38,500 was raised for charity, which makes the total since 2005 at about $250,000.....pretty awesome!! I was absolutely stunned when I won that raffle and the Hobie Revolution 11....and I took her out on her maiden voyage yesterday and it sure was "different" since I was so used to my Tarpon 120 after about 700 trips on "Old Blue"!! Got her slimed with two flatties, a trout, and a sea robin (strange little thing!!) but mostly I just paddled and pedaled and fiddled around with the Mirage Drive, the rudder and other new stuff......I get to like it better once I get used to her!! Nubby.....having a "M&G"....  I will try to "search" for it, or please pop me a PM wiith the link. I "might" be on my way to Charlotte and Burlington right about then, so that would be a nice stopover and maybe even fish with some of you??? Thx....JohnYaksJax |

Nubby, I'm going to try and make the meet n greet, but can't commit to it just yet. My son made the Dixie Youth Sports Baseball All Star team, so the team will be practicing 6 days a week until the tournaments begin at the end of June. I'm coaching as well, so I will need to see how the schedule works out. I should know by the end of this month, though.

I would love to fish the Jax Classic next year but I believe I will be deployed. Crossing my fingers I will be here for it.
